Brooklyn Nets

An NHL team that began sharing Barclays Center with the Nets in the 2015–16 season, but now play only about half of their home games in Brooklyn. The "Isles" have moved the remainder of their home schedule to their former home of Nassau Coliseum (now extensively renovated) in the Nassau County suburb of Uniondale. In 2021, the Isles plan to move full-time into a new arena next to the Belmont Park horse racing track in another Nassau County community, Elmont.

Home to the impressive Brooklyn Philharmonic, BAM is one of the best places in the country to attend cutting-edge new musical and dance performances. The Next Wave Festival every autumn is a much-anticipated event of the New York performance scene.

A good cinema in an old opera hall. Films shown are in between arthouse and mainstream.

A self supporting arm of the MTA, it is housed in the Subway's former Court Street Station, on a spur line from the current A and C lines. Closed to passengers in 1946, it was reopened in 1976 as the New York Transit Exhibit and was popular enough to be made permanent. The museum is made up of two underground levels: the Mezzanine, which hosts exhibits on the construction of the subway, surface transportation in New York, fare collection and rotating exhibits on various transit-related subjects; and the station platform, which houses about 20 retired subway cars dating as far back as 1903 and a working signal tower. The museum sponsors events throughout the year, including simple art projects, walking tours on the subway, and rides on the museums' fleet of retired trains. There is also an annex of the museum in Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan.

This pretty building was built as Brooklyn's city hall in 1851 and is still a very significant official building in very active use.
